Are you buying into the Shanaplan?

Yeah but depth is easier to create pre Plan B free-agency and salary caps

Yes. Pre-1993 you could use your bench as a minor league development arrangement. Once free agency came along, that disappeared, because after four years a player just signs with another team rather than being promoted from the bench.

Not denying that. I'm simply saying that depth, itself, is the key.

I was watching the 1991 NFC Championship game on DVD last night and Mays was all over the field after Darrell Green injured his ribs. Alvoid Mays was a pretty quality depth player....

He was fine, but-if we're being honest-he wasn't tremendously better than say Reed Doughty or even a guy like Jordan Pugh.

I love the 80s Redskins, but there's always a lot of revisionist history about them

But anyhow, that's in the past

Pretty much my point.

the only problem i had with the shanaplan was the inconsistent performance of our coordinators at times early in the season... i must say they have found rythym and the head scratchers get less and less every week.. they've turned play calling around in a huge way regardless of who we have a QB it seems... sure winning has alot to do with it but for me personally they have come on strong especially with halftime adjustments... can't say enough about the work they are putting in over this win streak and how it has translated on the field. big ups to both of them.

^ The Redskins players and especially the coaching staff have been on fire since returning from the bye week.....

I was so glad to get rid of the Snyderatto Front Office that I bought in on day 1 that Shanahan and Allen were hired. Finally two real football men running the ship, about 12 years too late.
Yes there have been some mistakes along the way with Shanaplan, but nobody is perfect. Even Gibbs I made some personnel mistakes here and there. I don't expect Shanahan and Allen to be perfect.
I think the real change now has to come from the Redskins fans that are too impatient and so desperate to win now that there is already talk of wanting to trade away Cousins for picks. You want picks to get great players. So why give away a good player for picks? The other needs will get taken care of with TIME.
I think last weeks RGIII injury is the perfect example of this impatience. So many people wanted RGIII to play and risk further injury even though he could run in practice. I love that Shanahan will only play RGIII until he is healthy, that is the correct way to treat your big investment.

My name is Punch, and im a Shanafan. Admitting it is half the battle. Lol.

I think its pretty apparent that everyone is jumping on the bandwagon now. Where were all you guys when me goat gtripp and mechanix were saying "be patient"? ;)
On a serious note everyone was excited when Vinnie left. When after two years and 9 weeks you have yet to be on the way to winning atleast as many games as Zorn did i think that was reasonable cause for doubt. Its easy now to say " i knew this was coming ( the wins) , as opposed to admitting that you might have been thinking the same thing as we were - "oh shit". I personally stated all year that when he wins he will garner my praise. I feel no shame in being a "bandwagon fan" of the coaching staff. I was never a "bandwagon fan" of my team. Would be wearing my jersey every sunday no matter what.
